Office Outlook XP problem

I have a strange problem with office XP.
I open outlook and 3 seconds later a window comes up and says, "MS word has
encountered an error and must close". I hit OK and window shuts down and
word comes up in "recovery" mode. and asks do you want to start word in safe mode.
I tried repairing office xp, re-installing it. But no luck.

And, when Word comes up in recovery mode and asks if you want to start in safe mode, what happens if you do start Word in safe mode? Does it crash again, or can you use Word?

What happens if you allow Word to go into recovery in "normal" mode? Does it crash? Does it display any "saved" documents? If it displays saved documents, what happens if you click the "Close" button to abandon all saved documents?

After starting Outlook in safe mode do the following
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
2. Click to select or click to clear the Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages check box.

Turn on logging
1.On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.On the Other tab, click Advanced Options.
3.Select the Enable logging (troubleshooting) check box, and then click OK two times.
4.Restart Outlook.
After you restart Outlook, the words (Logging Enabled) in the title bar indicate that the logging feature is turned on. From this point, every time Outlook sends or receives messages, the communication that occurs between Outlook and the e-mail server is written to a log file.

You are on the right track. If word is his editor, the issue is just as like to be a word/editor issue rather than an outlook/exchange problem at the root. Since most mail received is now HTML format, if messages are coming in another format, it is possible those messages are not being opened correctly.

Going through error logs for more detail could point to message or messages which are causing the problem he is having.

MS Outlook is directly related to well installed MS Office part. If any type
of installing file problem in office suit it causes outlook may occur
problem.Sometime due to network mode could problem to open outlook in its
.OST file. Repair .OST or delete it next login automatically it will repairt
outlook.
